Frankincense oil is pale and yellow-green oil which has a distinctive spicy and slightly haunting aroma and it is known for its exotic qualities. Frankincense oil originating in the Middle East is distilled by steam, and it is easily sourced from a variety of retail outlets however; it can be purchased direct from specialist suppliers through the internet. Frankincense oil has no contra-indications and so is fairly safe for all to use but it is always worth researching for any potential problems prior to use and that includes any individual essential oil.

Some essential oils can be expensive so it is always worth reading up on individual properties prior to purchasing. Always ensure that the oils you purchase are pure essential oils as there are some less expensive oils around but these have a distinctively lesser quality to them, therefore their benefits would be rapidly reduced.  Frankincense oil blends well with other oils such as Sage, Geranium, Ginger, Basil, Bergamot and Cedarwood.
